Mantids (obviously) and just about all other interesting animals. I own an ever-growing menagerie of arthropods, reptiles, and frogs. I am a Christian and my church is a huge part of my life. I also love macro photography, sketching, and other arts. I love science and am going to be a medical scientist.

I was planning to mate my green female ghost this afternoon, but I got back from grocery shopping and she had laid me a nice big infertile ooth.

So I decided to see if my male would be interested in my big dark female. Sure enough, after three hours of fooling around on her back, Pumpkin the male decided to make the connection!!!!!

This is the first ghost mating of the season for me, but not the last! I have three other females waiting for their turn.

  Thanks! It's kind of bittersweet because the female decided she was hungry and took it out on the male. I'm pretty sure it was successful, but now I have to wait for my other subadult males to mature before I can mate my other girls. And anyone who's kept ghosts knows how painfully slow the males mature!

  Lucky. I have just one each illudens and paradoxa females.
  
  By old identification standards, I was informed illudens and paradoxa are synonyms. Whatevz. Ill keep them separate.
  
  Whole whack of males tho. Two subs that just dont wanna molt too. 🙄

  I don't believe that illudens and paradoxa are synonyms because the female's crown looks so different.
